Contents

Early life and state football

Ginnivan started playing Australian rules football at the age of six, following Hawthorn winning the 2008 AFL Grand Final. As a youth, he played for the Newstead Football Club in the Maryborough Castlemaine District Football League and at the age of 11, kicked his 100th goal for the club. [1] Later, he played junior football for Golden Square and Strathfieldsaye in the Bendigo Football Netball League, helping them win a premiership in 2019. [2] In 2020, Ginnivan played for the Bendigo Pioneers in the NAB League and was selected for the Vic Country team. [3] Ginnivan studied at Bendigo Senior Secondary College and grew up supporting Hawthorn. [4]

AFL career

2021: Debut season

Ginnivan was drafted by Collingwood with their first pick of the 2021 rookie draft, which was the 13th pick overall. [5] After kicking 11 goals over three matches in the Victorian Football League (VFL), including several four-goal games, [6] Ginnivan made his AFL debut against Port Adelaide in the nineteenth round of the 2021 AFL season, at Marvel Stadium. [7] He played in the last five games of the season, kicking six goals. [8]

2022: Breakout season

In the 2022 Anzac Day match, in just his tenth career game, Ginnivan kicked five goals and won the Anzac Medal as best on ground, [9] as well as the Rising Star nomination for round 6. [10] As his second season progressed, he quickly became a high-profile and controversial player, after gaining a reputation among media and rival spectators for ducking or shrugging into high tackles to win free kicks, [11] and later admitting to doing so deliberately and even practising the technique in an unusually frank interview. [12]

Ginnivan was booed by rival fans for much of the end of his second season – including an infamous incident when Sydney fans booed him after he had left the game with injury, drawing considerable scorn towards those fans in the media. [13]

2023: Premiership and move to Hawthorn

In the summer of 2023, Ginnivan was on a training tour with Collingwood in Torquay, where he was caught taking illicit substances in the hotel bathroom. [14] He was given a two-game ban and missed games against Geelong and Port Adelaide. [15]

Ginnivan played only 14 of the club's 26 games, making his first appearance of the season in round 5 against St Kilda, kicking one goal from 13 disposals. [16] He continued to appear in and out of the side throughout the season, and kicked a total of 12 goals, with a season high of three goals against Essendon in round 24. [17]

Ginnivan played as the substitute for Collingwood's two finals games before earning his spot in the starting 22 for the grand final. [18] Ginnivan became a premiership player in Collingwood's win over Brisbane Lions by four points, amassing seven disposals and one behind on the day.

Following the grand final, Ginnivan requested a trade to Hawthorn, and was traded on 18 October. [19]

Personal life

Ginnivan's father, Craig Ginnivan, kicked 17 goals for Campbells Creek in the Maryborough Castlemaine District Football League in a 1990 match. [20] Campbells Creek's final score of 100.34 (634) is the highest ever in a senior Australian rules football match. [21]
